Princess Anastasia of Shimmer Town
IC-Anastasia followed rosalina to what seemed to be a lodge in the middle of Brightwing Lane. Secretly, Anastasia was wondering why they were there as it seemed just like a normal lodge. Rosalina opened the door, and Anastasia stepped inside. Rosalina called out something along the lines of Peach i have somebody i'd like you to see! It's an old friend. Curious, Anastasia called into the darkness-"Peach are you here? Rosie here said there was something interesting here, and that she wants me to learn about something extrordinary.." Whatever it was, Anastasa was excitede. She loved helping people, and wanted to protect LI Already, but for her friend to want to show her something special, well she must be the luckiest girl around right now.

From within the lodge, Peach heard a familiar woman's voice and her mood immediately brightened a little. "Coming~!" Peach cheerily called out, taking a moment to fix her crown and skirt with a quick fluffing motion before eagerly moving to meet Rosalina at the door.

Meanwhile, Rosalina and Anastasia are treated to the sight of the inside of the lodge. From the outside, it was simply an unusually large house. On the inside though, one could already tell this wasn't just some house for a particularly influential citizen. Two teenage girls stopped to look up at the newcomers from where they sat, a book on the table in front of them. It looked like they were doing some research by the looks of it. Probably for Hylia's Grace Academy, the Life Sphere's one major school, if one had to take a guess. One of them, a girl sporting an ornate blue breastplate, golden eyes, and chestnut brown hair, had a striking natural beauty about her. She smiled invitingly at the two. "Hey~! I recognize you. You're Princess Rosalina! It's nice to finally meet you." the girl greeted. "My name's Arle." she quickly added. The other, much shorter girl with blonde hair and blue eyes was shorter and quieter, though they were both quite short compared to Rosalina. She smiled in a friendly manner regardless. "And my name is Doctor Ciel." Ciel introduced. ...That tiny girl was a doctor? At 4'11'', she looked more like a middle schooler! She did have a somewhat otherworldly appearance to her, though. Perhaps it was deceiving.

Just then, Princess Peach arrived! "Oh~ Rosalina, it is such a pleasure to see you here~" she eagerly gushed as she approached the two, Perry slung over her shoulder. The sentient umbrella was watching quietly at the moment. "And Princess Anastasia as well! I can only hope that this is what you wished to show me Rosalina, as it is very wonderful to see another familiar face!" she eagerly greeted, folding her hands in front of her. "Anastasia..? Are you familiar with Perry, my parasol..? I am taking care of him, and I do not believe I had a chance to properly introduce you prior to ...well, the hardships of the kingdom." Peach explained, shifting Perry for easier viewing.

"Howdy!" Perry greeted.

"Now... You are both more than welcome to stay and enjoy some tea and or cookies. But I cannot help but wonder--is there something more I could do for you both?" Peach offered, folding her hands in front of her and politely eyeing the duo. She seemed very excited to see them both, much as her royal dignity demanded that she be calm and composed and regal.

Princess Anastasia of Shimmer Town
IC- Anastasia smiled. Rosalina whispered to peach that she wanted Anastasia in the MGS, and brought her here for an interview. She then explained it to Anastasia,and anastasia nodded."I'd love to be a part of whatever it is! I'm ready to begin at any time, Peachey." Anastasia looked excited. A society of magical girls? She could totally get behind that being a maic Gemstone princess who loves helping others, she'd fit right in. She also took note of the toehr two."It is wonderful to meet you two.. i hope we get to know eachother ore!"

"Oh!" Peach replied, bowing her head slightly. "Alright then. Shall we head back? I'd be happy to get to know you better and make sure you're a good fit now." Peach politely replied. Her hopes were high, but of course she wanted to know Anastasia on a more personal level before she rushed into anything. "And of course, you're more than welcome to come along if you so desire, Rosie~" Peach added, stepping forward to address Rosalina. She embraced her tenderly, wrapping her arms around Rosalina's waist. Little pink magical hearts rising from her head as she shared a moment with the other, laying her head against Rosalina's chest as if to listen to her heart. She could be very clingy and loving at times, though she was rarely assertive about it. With a sweet little kiss once she was finished with her moment, she finally broke the embrace. Feeling refreshed, she beamead at Rosalina before quickly moving to lead the way, not wanting to keep Anaastasia waiting any longer than the handful of seconds the moment had actually spanned, much as it felt like longer to her.

Peach lead the way out of the main room, taking a short walk through a doorway to the right into what appeared to be a communal sleeping area before entering a small room that would grant them some privacy. A couple of chairs were available for sitting around a small desk. It looked almost like a little office!

"So... Anastasia. How much do you already know about the Magical Girl's Society?" Peach softly asked, seeking an indication of where to start. There was a lot to say and a lot to know.

Princess Anastasia Of Shimmer Towen

IC-Anastasia looked at peach, and spoke calmly. "According to what Rosalina told me you are a society of women and girls who respect your fellow sisters, and always help eachother. yOU Also do a lot of good for others out in the world, which is what i do when i make diamonds randomly and give them to strangers on the streets of the life sphere." Anastasia explained. She also continued walkin with peach. "She also said you guys defend eachother in battle, and i always worry about you and rosalina so being able to defend you two when you need it would make me a really happy person. I've missed you guys." Anastasia then smiled."So whats the enxt question friendo?" Anastasia asked.[/color][/font] Mari

[Mari]

Peach gave little nods of encouragement as Anastasia spoke. She had to wonder if those diamond handouts would damage the Life Sphere's already terrible economy, though. What if people tried selling them after being given them? Would anyone buy diamonds in the apocolypse? ...Y'know now that she thought about it the answer was probably no. She doubted most people were romantic enough and bad enough with coins to spend it all on a diamond when a lot of people couldn't even afford food. She reasoned things would work out fine. "You are veritibly correct, Anastasia, and I do appreciate that you've kept me in your thoughts." Peach helpfully replied, flashing a pleasant smile.

"Much of our organized work is done here in the life sphere to help each other and our community, however we do have a great many budding heroines amongst us. I like to think of it as a... sisterhood, in the sense that we are all a sort of family. Many or even most people lost their real families when the starvia hit. Whether we act as sisters, or mothers, we all do our part to help each other feel loved and cared for." Peach explained, very overt about her romanticized view of the world as always. "Of course, we also work to make sure each of us gets home safe at the end of the day. Some of us are teachers, guiding others in new ways to protect or take care of themselves. I myself help out with cooking and love magic~I can say with pride that not one sister has been left behind." Peach cheerily added.

"My next question is... What are you looking for in a place like this? I understand that you were brought here out of a desire to protect Rosalina and I, but how may we and the rest of the sisterhood return the favor to you?"

Princess Anastasia

Anastasia looked at peach and smiled. "I just want to be there for everyone.... and as for how you could repay me? Just be there for me in the tough time i have.. I just found out my two best friends nearly destroyed their homeworld... Now more then ever i need a shoulder to cry on. This is all i ask.." The girl then looked toward peach, a small spark coming from her hand a tiny purple heart, however it soon faded. She sighed-"Next question? What is it."

Thinking of what happened in her friends past hurt her.

A memory flashes through Peach's mind.
Did she know someone like the friend Anastasia was describing?



. . .
Yes, she did.

Peach nodded in solemn understanding. "...I do know how you feel, Anastasia. A great many of our sisters have come here with terrible pain in their hearts hoping to find understanding and support. For some of them, that pain was so great that it caused them to do terrible, inexcusable things. Yet, it is in our nature to try and heal these twisted hearts, to soothe their pain and let them know that they are not alone, and that they are loved. Many were orphaned during the transition here to Li, or even earlier. I myself have not seen my parents since the starvia attacked... Some of the girls need a mother figure in their lives, while others may only need a... big sister~! I do hope you will reach out to them and use your best judgement in asserting yourself so that you may open their hearts. It is not always this easy... I would like you to know that my shoulder, as well as my heart, are always open to you, Anastasia. ...Even now." the princess softly replied, casting a sweet and inviting smile over to Anastasia, dispelling the magical heart in her hands and holding her arms out to the other princess. It was an offer to be held. Should Anastasia attempt to accept, a strong wind would scoop her up and gently ease her back down on the other side of the table, right into Peach's lap. Else, she would simply move on without comment. It seemed that Peach's heart was always open, without hesitation or fail.

"You are also more than welcome to practice your love magic with me. It may be quite useful in helping your friends, as well as pacifying your enemies." Peach went on to offer. "My next question... In times like these, I must admit that it is more important than ever for us girls to stick together. There are some things only we can fully understand..." Peach thoughtfully began, only to stop and lean in to say the next part more quietly. "Plus, a lot of villains would very much like to make damsels out of us so that they can make a name for themselves." she quickly added, shrugging ever so gently. What could she do, other than deal with those troubles when they came? "We all work to protect the dignity of women across the sphere, even when that means needing to confront others who have chosen a different, more vile path. I do understand if you do not wish to fight, but I would like to know how you feel about these things, as well as the state of affairs here on Li." Peach asked, having asked a bunch of questions at once. She felt like she already approved of Anastasia after the first question, but it never hurt to get to know someone better before you finished.

[Kari Meadowwing]

Anastasia looked at peach, and smiled taking hr hand sitting i peaches lap/"The current affairs are pretty bad... that virus is dangerous and people are getting hurt... but i want to protect everyone. Yes i know women are treated badly, and i want to defend our fellow girls from anybody who would hurt them. I cannot stand to see anybody get misstreated... because i know how it feels." The girl replied honestly.

[Mari]

Peach tenderly tugged Anastasis into her, cuddling her where she sat on her lap, wrapping one of her arms around Anastasia's waist and sighing contently. " . . . I believe I have made my choice." she replied. "I think you will make a wonderful addition to the sisterhood." she added after a moment, turning Anastasia and guiding her to lay her head against her shoulder or chest, affectionately, wrapping her other arm securely around her back for a fuller embrace. "And I am glad to welcome you into my home away from home, just as you've welcomed me into your heart. Thank you, Anastasia. From now on, I will be there for you personally, just as I am now." she continued, drifting into a softer tone.

[Kari Meadowwing]

Anastasia smiles at peach and hugs her. "Thank you so much best friend.." She cries a bit."I haven't really had a place to call home for a long time." The girl then smiled a bit. She had a starbit stash in her backpack, and gave one each to the two smaller girls

[Mari]

"You're welcome~" Peach replied, leisurely hugging Anastasia back. "I'm sure soon enough you'll forget what it feels like to be homeless~ We do only have a handful of real beds--but they usually aren't all taken, and there are other sleeping arrangements available." Peach explained, eager to get Anastasia settled in.
